Henderson is no better to-day, we are sorry to hear. March jutst got up and jduste l, forenoon, and no mistake. 1 this The fragrant yellow jessamine is in bloom in the woods around the city The prospects are now for one' of the finest fruit seasons ever known in this section. This of course , provided there does not come soon a killing frost. The sale of tickets for reseived seats at the Opera House to witness the perform ance of the Opera of H. M. S. Pinafore, will commence to-morrow mornmg at Heinsberger's. Hon. A. A.. McKoy arrived in the city on Saturday night and left this morning for Lumbermen, where Robeson County Superior Court convenes to-day. Judge McKoy will hold this Court. Opinion of a Baltimorean. I have used Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup for some time in my family and lound it the best remedy for Coughs, Coids, &c I ever tried. Louis Bruning,2e Caroline Street; Street Cleaning. Ihe sanitary condition of the city may b) good, and the street-cleaners may do their duty, but we have been credibly in formed that there are . heaps of trash on Hanover, between Second ard Third streets, which have lain there undisturbed except by the hgs, lor nearly or quite twelve mouths. FULL WEIGHT IN THE CANS: absolutely pare material: careful chemi cal combination these are the secrets which have made Bqoley's Ykast Pow er the acknowledged nonpareil of this class of preparations. Now-a-days 'people have learned to study the question of health, and they have solved it m one direction by the use of this article. False Alarm. Between the hoars of 12 and 1 o'clock this morning there was a cry of fire, bHt it proved to - e a false alarm. One or two of the fire companies got under way,, but as there was no fire, and the could not even find a smoke they returned to the amulet of their beds. 1 7 Confirmation. Bishop Atkinsen preached at St. Mark's Church last evening and confirmed eleven persons. The church was crowd ed to its utmost capacity, there haying been pressnt in seats reserved for their many white worshippers. The Bishop's discourse occupied about three-quarters of an hour, and his exordium to the con firmed about twenty minutes. The Biggest Train Ye t . The freight train on the C. O. railway which arrived in" this city yesterday, star ted from Charlotte with 44 cars attached (two better than have been heretofore announced( but left two of them at Ab bottsburg and reached here with 42 cars. This on a North Carolina railroad, with a native North Carolina engineer, which his name is Garrason and his front name is George, than whom no better steps into a cab or pulls a throttle. Three Times Arrested. The only case at the Sheriff" s office or in Magisterial circles to-day was that of a colored man arrested upon a warrant from J. C. Hill, J. P which, the defen dant alleges, is the third time that he has been arrested and summoned before a Magistrate upon the same charge. This sort of thing, the defendant protests, ia getting rather too monotonous, the oily variety about the arrest being that he i summoned before a different Magistrate each time of arrest. The prosecutor is a wo man of dark complexion. WILMINGTON, N. C, MONDAY, MARCH Up for Repairs. The steamer Wave has been taken temporarily lrom the line between hero and Fayetteviile in order to have her old boiler removed and a new one placed in position. She wili probably be again ready fr her regular trips in the course of a week. A Big Issue. The last issue of the New York Herald was a ejuintuple sheet and contained ev entj' columns of advertisements and fifty or sixty columns of news and editorial matter. This is several columns of print ahead of any newspaper published in our little burgh When the Review reaches the climax of the great New York daily we promise a big champagne supper to all the printers in town. In fact, we might as well be generous, it will do harm, and extend the invitation to all printers and nwspaper men in the State, for we feel sure they will all come. Sudden Death. Lus Sarah Henlerson, of Pender county, died between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock, a. ra , to day, at the residence of her brother, Mr. J. M. Henderson, of heart disease. Miss Henderson had come to this city to attend upon her brother during the severe sickness with which he has been prostrated, when she was at tacked with the disease which proved sud denly fatal. We learn that she has been afflicted with this terrible disease for some years, and it was probably owing to the excitement and fears incident to the seri ous sickness of her brother which caused such a sudden termination of life. Fire in Duplin. We regret to learn that the residence of Mr. Daniel D. Wells, of Magnolia township, Duplin county, took fire from a defective stova pipe on Thursday last anel was entirely consumed, with all its contents including the furniture and near ly every article of clothing belong ine V the family. Mr. Wells, whe is lT" I Duplin's best men, and a thriving young farmer, was absent from home on busi ness in this city when the conflagration occurred, and knew nothing of the dis aster until his home, which bad been built only a few years, was in ashes. The property destroyed was insured for $2 000. St. Patrick's Day. The patriotic sons of the Emerald Isle residing in this city, honored the natal day of their "patron Saiat with a due observance of the occasion. For reasons already stated there was no display. The members of the Hibernian Benevolent Asssociatioa met at their Hall this morn ing and from theace marched in regalia to St. Thomas' Church, where the services commemorative of the day were to be celebrated. They turned out with full ranks. Arriving at the Church they filed into the seats reserved for them, the balance of the building being crowded with the families and friends of the mem bers. There wero services appropriate to the . occasion, some excellent music and an address by Rev. Father Gross, which we have heard spoken of cn every hand as singularly beautiful, interesting and attractive. At the conclusion of the services at ta Chureh the Association returned in order to thtirHall and after they had dispeirsed a large number of them made a pilgrimage to Oakdale Cemetery where rest their deceased members. Beginning with that of Capt. I. B. Grainger, their deceased Presi dent, they visited all of the graves, leaving behind them floral .trophies to the memery of those who so peacefully repose there. At a business meeting of the Association, held te-iay, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term, viz: President Capt. John Barry. Vice President Frank H. Darby. Secretary D. O'Connor. Assistant Secretary M. O'Brien. Treasurer L. Brown. . s There were two nominees fcr the office of President, Capt. Barry and Mr. Darby, but the latter gentleman arose in his seat and declined to contest the election with Capt. Barry and thereapoa moved that that gentleman be elected by acclama tion, which was done. Mr. Darby was then elected Vice-President. We are pleased to learn that the affairs of the Association are in excellent condi tion and that they never were, in a f nan c'al point of view, more prosperous than they now arc , Oysters are on their last legs now. City Court. Alderman Bowden, Mayor pA temp , presiding : Two subjects of the giant alcohol were arraigned before the Mayor pro tem,. this morning, for disorderly conduct on Satur day night. The first offender on the docket was released with costs. In the second case a line of $:) was iaio posed. This ended the proceedings, and the Court adjourned. Convalescent. We are glad state that Mr. J. W. Thompson is improving as rap'dly as could be expected. For a short time yes terday (Sunday) he was thought to be worte, but he soon rallied and has con tinued improving ever since. We earn" estly hope that the wishes ol his many friends and relatives may be fully real iz3d, and that hemay'socn be fully re stored to health. Repaint? St. John's. Some repairs are now being made to ft he chancel at St. John's Church. The eastern window above the altar is to be cleaned and repainted and other improve ments are to be made. The repairs, we understand, are to be the gift ef a liberal minded gentleman, a vestryman in the Church. The congregation will worship this week, while the repairs are in pro gress, in the Parish School House- next North of the Church. Young Africa. A slight altercation occurred on South Water street this morning between two colored youths at Elias Ilalsey's wood pile. One boy was about to strike an other boy considerably smaller than him salf with a can of concentrated lye, when the other youth who, was ef the same complexion and antecedents as his adver sary, whipped out his pocket-knife and sliced his big opponent's arm for him, whereupon the combat wounded boy was taken ceased. The to the doctor shop where his arm was dressed and the paternal parent of the other little darkey happening along just then, took the knife away from his young hopeful and depos ited it in the bottom of the river and then marched his boy off home. Whose Is It? Saturday evening last Chief of Police Brock ha1 information that a colored boy had been seem on Hanover street with what appeared to be a gold watch which he was offering for sale. Mr. Brock im mediately directed officer Allen to go over to Brooklyn and ascertain the facts. Tbe atter went to the corner of Second aud Hanover streets and there leaned that a colored boy had been seen to sell a watch to another colored lad, and pursuing his inquires he found the watch in the peses- sion of s colored boy by tbe name of Cowan, who had bought it of William Henry Howard, ths boy in whose pos session it was first seen, and for which Cowan had paid tea cents and a ball of twine. Howard upon being interrogated said that he found the watch, whish by wayis only a galvanized one,on the street. The watch is now in the hands of Chief Brock to be del ivered to the owner on proof of property. A Wilmington Boy. From a private letter whick we have had the pleasure of perusing, we glean an item in reference to one of our Wil mington boys which we are glad to note. The writer states that Mr. Ancrum 13. Burr, a native of our town, son of Col. J. G. Burr, has been employed for some time past in tbe Engineering Department ng obstructions in the Baritan and Passaic rivers. A few days ago he removed an enormous rock in one of the slips at tbe foot of Whitehall street. He drilled tha stone and then blew it to pieces with giant powder a species ef glycerine and fuller's earth. The experi ment was entirely satisfactory and was witnessed by an immense crowd, and strange to say, though the slip j was sur rounded by ferry houses and one hun dred and sixty poun Js- of powder were fired , which is thirteen times stronger than ordinary gun powder, not'a single pane of glass was broken in any of the sur rounding buildings. It always gives us great pleasure to chronicle the success of onr boys who have been compelled to leave the old homestead in the hope of bettering them conditions, and never was a truer saying uttered than that the old North State was the best State in tbe Union to move away from. 1 rpHE WLM1NGTON JOURNAL, is one of the very best advertising, mediums pm the I RtmtM TVw it I 17, 1879.
